The Movie Club Selection Poll

Just wait a minute...please?

I'm trying to work something out that Holden made me aware of. Perhaps we can make this its own subforum.

I need to do a little more research and talk to Yoda about it first. I'll be quick.

I agree with Sam, I think we were pretty sucessfull. We have generated a passionate response from several different people. The only way it could get better is if everyone can see the film. For those who did, they enjoyed it immensely and are having a very stimulating discussion about it right now!

Edit: Maybe the time limit is the problem....

You pick a movie. You were the first to respond, so it's your turn.

Or...if you want to, make a poll like I did.

NEXT MOVIE IS:


The Conversation (Coppola, 1974)

It was right up there in votes.....

What's the date for discussion, Sedai?

Hmmmm, what did we decide on? 10 days from pick date? 13 days?

So, it's either 10 days from yesterday, or it's 13 days from yesterday. Gove folks a few days to find the film, then a week to watch it....

Ok

Has anybody else seen The Conversation? I just caught it last night and was blown away. It's excellent! Great choice, Sedai! When is the discussion?

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive in the post - that's the problem if it can't be rented locally. Saw it in HMV the other day but £19.99? No chance.

Well I got my copy of The Conversation a couple of months back for about £7.99 in Virgin. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to getting it watched again, especially on my new Hi-Def tv that arrives on monday

I think people should be all set with The Conversation by now, no? I'll open the thread....

It's getting near Halloween, and so I feel like a good thriller.
For my movie club selection, I'm going with:

The Wicker Man
1973 - d. Robin Hardy

When a young girl mysteriously disappears, police sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But this pastoral community, led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), is not at all what it seems. Before long, the devout Christian detective uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy. --Netflix

"The Wicker Man (1973) is a classic that Horror fans and Brits probably know better than most casual American filmgoers. It is definitely considered a classic in Horror circles, but still widely unknown and underappreciated by the genral public. Darn good flick." -- Holden Pike




Let me know if there's an unforseen problem, please.
I'll plan on opening a discussion thread (or bumping the existing one from 2001) on 10/17/05, Monday.

Great choice Cinders! I'm in.

Still hoping that Screenselect will come through with The Conversation too though as Hardy's masterpiece is sitting 3 feet from me I won't have to bother them this time round.

"Dear God no!"...

It's in my queue, so I shall now move it up to ensure prompt discussion

I am in, I love The Wicker Man like Tatty i am still waiting for The Conversation
